Contest: Win Signed Library of Marketing Books

**Update** Join me in congratulating Christina McWaters for winning the library of signed marketing books from some of the top experts in the business! She is working on her first book now and is already thinking ahead to marketing it. Congratulations, Christina!

**Update** The winner has been contacted. I am waiting to hear back from her.

**Update** This contest is now closed. Once the winner has been confirmed and contacted, we will update this post. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who entered and to the authors who graciously agreed to sign their books to the winners. Stay tuned for further contests.

Today, in lieu of my normal Friday marketing tips from around the net, I am using the post to introduce you to a new contest that gives you the chance to win copies of 5 books from book marketing experts who have contributed articles to my blog. What's cool is that these authors have agreed to inscribe the book personally to the winner of the contest. Here are the quick details.
